I don't think I'm ready to go back and listen to either of these albums. I almost listened to Backspacer today, but saw the songs, and didn't feel like hearing any of them. I'm in a random mode now, so I'll leave it to the random gods to determine if I shall hear songs from it or not.

Turning Mist
I'm dead serious about Turning Mist as a closer. It's really grown on me lately, I think it's charming in a sleepy, modest way.
Not to mention "Force of Nature" and "Infallible" -- didn't you once rank those both as the worst of the worst?
Ha, yes.
The live versions of Infallible won me over, consider me a low-key convert.
I'm still pretty ambivalent about Force of Nature but it served a purpose for the tracklisting above (which doesn't necessarily exactly reflect my favourite songs from them two records; I
quite like Amongst the Waves for instance).
I love you more and more every day.
Amongst The Waves has always been my favorite song from Backspacer (Johnny Guitar is a close second).

Man, I love Olé.
Whatever else happens in our lives, we'll always have this.
Man, I fucking love our shared mutual love for Ole.

I still haven't listened to either album in quite some time. Last time I listened to LB in it's entirety was April 2014, and Backspacer was before that. I still don't have even the slightest urge to listen to either.

I feel the same but I have been trying hard lately to squash the perceived beef between me and Stip and decided to give the last two albums a chance since he's so fond of them.

That's only going to make you resent Stip.

By ejecting it your car just went up in value.

I can't remember what any of the Lightning Bolt songs sound like. I'd like to keep it that way.

And still you seem so unsettled. We need more sessions to delve deeper.

I may just make this mix. Not only will I arrange the songs, I may actually play it.
